I confided in a friend that I once made a very passionate commentary about stereotyping interracial relationships as being between black men seeking white women as status symbols. I made these comments in a largely black forum where they weren’t well received. The feedback I got included a response that basically accused me of thinking I was the Great White Hope. That phrase, like AmeriKKKa and others I’ve heard since, didn’t have a historical or cultural significance to me at the time.
